Hi Tony, I hope you are right and someone somewhere will take notice and at least try to offer a VI friendly version of this app. I'm sure someone on this list will know who to contact, so if there is a sky contact with this subject area in his/her remit then please post their E mail in order for us to voice our views! Damn shame, would help so many if it were voiceover friendly.

Hi All Sorry about that but did imagine it would have no problem with Voiceover, but as I dont use an iPad was not sure. But would it be a huge problem to make the App accessible as I notice they are looking at an update later in the year for it. Tony. On 19 August 2012 12:24, Billy I <hotscot72@xxxxxxx> wrote:

HOW IT WORKS The Sky+ box is connected to a home network via either a cable or wireless connection. This allows the iPad, which must be connected to the same network, to 'see' the TV box and control it. Alongside this, the update will also allow Sky customers to see what's stored on their Sky+ planner and make changes without interrupting their TV viewing. 'A new design meanwhile makes it even easier for Sky customers to use the app to set recordings of their favourite shows over the following seven days, scrolling through the whole week in the TV Guide and selecting which shows they want to record, which they can do either by episode or entire series,' Sky said.To access the full range of functionality through the revamped app,Sky TV customers need to have the new look Sky TV Guide on their Sky+HD box, and to make sure their Sky+HD box is connected to the same broadband network as their iPad. ** To leave the list, click on the immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe] ** If this link doesn't work then send a message to: ** access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx ** and in the Subject line type ** unsubscribe ** For other list commands such as vacation mode, click on the ** immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=faq] ** or send a message, to ** access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with the Subject:- faq
